What define "musicality" ? And what constitute "musicality" in audio ?


I think that "musicality" is the most important factor and attribute in living audio experience... The experience of "musicality" i think, cannot be reduced to subjective factors only, nor objective one...It is more easy to describe what it is not, than to describe what it is, perhaps like the experience of God in theology...But for sure if you get it, it seems the most important resultant factor of your audio grid system,you feel it and like it the most...After 7 years i feel it more than ever...The urge to upgrade recess in the background because when you feel "musicality" already at a certain level, you dont believe that it is possible to push that level really higher at an affordable cost... "Musicality" for me, in my words, correlate with realistic musical timbre and voice, fluidity,no harshness at all, no fatigue, and last but not least, listening music and forgetting the sound...

This is my personal my experience, i am curious to read others about that,about their "way" and "means" to live that experience...Thanks to all...

I start this question about "musicality" because it takes me 7 years to had this awe moment with my audio room and audio grid,and to think that I have it now relatively speaking for sure; I can listen music now with satisfaction without thinking back about big "defects" in my audio grid that distract me of the music I want to listen to...

Now for the first time I enjoy without too much thinking about some change, upgrading, or buying... This is the " musicality" I enjoy... I am curious to know what others think about their "musicality" experience in listening...And what is the factors that makes that happened to you...For sure there are many factors that create "musicality" experience...But some factors are more important than others, they are the one that interest me...Those factors that contribute the most to your pleasure and satisfaction with your own audio grid...


By the way it is because I read forums like Audiogon for the last 7 years that I learned what to do for myself to gain this always relative and minimal but important "musicality" personal experience; I learn to ponder the decisive factors I must focus on and work with to gain this experience of satisfaction with music reproduction I name "musicality", and not only what piece of gear is more useful to buy...I want to learn from you...

"Musicality" - a term equivalent to watching music waveforms on an oscilloscope!

If the music sweeps me into it I call it musical.  If everything sounds perfect but lacks involvement I call it technical.  With the right balance the two work together. A component can be more accurate, balanced, dynamic ... but does it make me feel good inside?
